Supermarine was a British aircraft company founded in 1913 at Southampton, which specialised in seaplanes and flying boats before turning to fighters. Its racing seaplanes won the Schneider Trophy in the 1920s and 1931, and the designer Reginald Mitchell used that experience for the Spitfire, which flew in 1936 and became the best-known British fighter of the Second World War. Supermarine also built the Walrus amphibian and was owned by Vickers.
